Advice on buying/selling

[HuckingFelll]

Hi, I actually feel quite stupid asking this but I'd really like some advice as I actually don't know how the process works. So, I live in a 10yr old newish build, I hate it due to many factors but mostly no storage, tiny bedrooms and so much going wrong. I feel like it was completely rushed and to begin with I loved it but now not so much after redecorating most rooms. It's in a great location and lovely estate for my LO going to school and public transport etc. I was extremely lucky to put a big deposit down so I have approx £100k equity. I think I want to move. How do I go about it? Do I find a house I like first? I've heard about porting my mortgage. Do I sell first? I actually have no clue. I'd love some basic advice from anyone please

The advice is always to sell first. Once your property is on the market you could potentially start looking at other properties to buy. But you can’t make a serious offer until your property is sold.
You could contact a mortgage broker to find out how much you could borrow but may be useful to first get valuations on your current property from 2 or 3 local estate agents. You could also phone your current mortgage provider and tell them you are thinking about moving house to find out how much they would let you get a mortgage for if you stick with them. Decisions about whether to stick with your current provider or switch to a new bank/building society can be done later. The first step is to get your current property on the market.
